CARF Chengdu J-10 3D 190000
A design of the Elster Jet Team - Ralph Losemann and Enrico Thaeter.
Why invent the wheel if somebody already did it? Why not build on a successful concept and perfect it with decades of all composite production experience? That way put a jet airplane on the market which is going to be the ultimate milestone for extreme light weight construction, structural strength and 3D aerobatic performance? CARF Models thought so and teamed up with Ralph and Enrico to rework and kit their world famous J-10 model, which they had initially scratch built and perfected over 4 flying seasons. CARF Models added in their production experience, their sense for scale appearance and created something really unique on the model jet market. The idea was to make this breath-taking design available to all modelers with a desire to experience 3D Jet performance at its BEST!
